He said that when you lose, there is disappointment, but we have to accept honestly that we made some mistakes.

He told that the decision to retired Tilak Verma was taken as per the need of the team, because at that time big shots were needed. Hardik hoped that the team would do better and return to the rhythm, as the tournament is still long.

Tilak Verma's slow innings became the reason for defeat!

Tilak Verma scored just 23 runs off 25 balls, which included only two fours. His innings was so slow that he was retired out in the 19th over, which is rarely seen in the IPL. Mitchell Santner, who came to his place, could not do anything special and could only score 2 runs in 2 balls.
